Discovered some amazing with 1hbh!

I have just discovered something amazing that really really works. I've been working on my 1hbh for 3 or 4 years now, trying to find that one missing part. Sometimes my backhand is great, sometimes it's terribly inconsistent.

Then, one day, I saw a video of Justine Henin on youtube practicing her 1hbh. Her left elbow in the takeback is incredibly high, so I studied what she was doing and took that to the practice court with me. And to my amazement!, I began hitting the backhand I've been looking for. That one piece is what helped me to become way more consistent. Now, I've been hitting it for about a week now, and it is working beautifully. I've never ever been more consistent with my backhand. I mean it helps with everything in my swing--even my early preparation to hit the ball. I'm hitting with more power and I'm not even swinging nearly as hard.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you guys and maybe get your comments on Justine's take back on the backhand.

I had the exact same problem, then I watched Gasquet and Henin, and I say the way they took it back, then I went to the courts and I was hitting huge down the liners that took my friend my surprise (I was too). Henin is defenitly a good role model for the looped 1 handed backhand.
